What is a .MEF file?
MEF is Mamiya’s camera RAW format. Opened in Adobe Lightroom.
- Did you know
- MEF is the raw format from Mamiya’s medium-format cameras.
- MEF is Mamiya’s “Mamiya Electronic Format”, capturing unprocessed sensor data from its high-end medium-format digital cameras.
- Like most camera raw formats, the MEF file is built on the TIFF structure, storing the sensor data in tagged image directories.
- MEF and Leaf’s MOS are closely related, both grouped under the wider “Mamiya RAW” family after Mamiya and Leaf came together.
- MEF keeps the image data raw and uncompressed so a photographer can process it later with no loss of quality.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open camera RAW files from Sony (ARW), Canon (CR2, CR3, CRW), Nikon (NEF, NRW), Fujifilm X-Trans (RAF), Sigma Foveon (X3F), Olympus (ORF), Panasonic (RW2), Pentax (PEF), Adobe DNG and many more. Reads full EXIF and lens data, the true sensor resolution, GPS and histograms, recovers the Sony and Nikon shutter actuation count, and develops the RAW - decoding the sensor to a full-resolution image, or extracting the embedded preview when a true demosaic is not available.
